When it comes to iPhone rumors, most of them tend to be inaccurate and somewhat wild. But we can’t deny that when there is smoke somewhere, there is probably some fire too. Experts have been talking about the possibility of Verizon getting the iPhone sometime in 2011. Apparently, this new device is already in the works and has its own code-name too (N92).

John Gruber is absolutely right about one thing: Verizon is going to sell a ton of these CDMA iPhones. The device is expected to have a 1.2 Ghz processor, so it’s going to be super fast. It will have a 3.7 inch retina display too. The release date seems to be sometime in early Spring 2011. Perhaps Verizon will announce this device at CES. Read the rest of this entry »

For all the good things that Apple does when presenting new devices, the company is notorious for not going deep enough when discussing technical specifications. That was the case with iPhone 4 as well. Steve Jobs did talk about iPhone 4′s display, Face Time, and other innovative features available on this device. But he did not mention anything about the device’s on-board memory. According to MacRumors, iPhone 4 will have 512 MB RAM on board. That is not much of a surprise considering that the device is expected to be heavily used by “multi-taskers.”

The iPad has only 256 MB of RAM on-board. iPhone 4 should perform much better. That’s not the only good news. According to yet another report (rumor), a CDMA flavor of iPhone is being manufactured for the holiday season. If the report is true, we may get Verizon iPhone by the end of the year. Why iPhone fans should not get their hopes up, Verizon iPhone rumors simply refuse to die. So maybe there is some truth to them after all. Read the rest of this entry »

Talk about a bitter rivalry. AT&T and Verizon don’t seem to find a way to get along, and why should they? After all, they are competitors, and there is much at stake. Verizon has increasingly gone after Apple and AT&T in its ads to make it clear that Verizon is the best network around. AT&T first complained about it. Then launched a lawsuit. Verizon responded by inviting AT&T to improve its network. Unfortunately for AT&T, the lawsuit has not been as successful as it was hoped. So it’s no wonder the company has been looking for other ways to get even with Verizon.

Here is the ad that made AT&T lose its mind:

The commercial ad is pretty clear. Verizon is a better network than AT&T. It may not be tough for customers to figure out which network is better, but that doesn’t keep wireless companies from trying to position themselves as the best. AT&T may be still mad about it all but has launched a fun ad to respond to Verizon’s claims. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s true that Verizon is working on a phone that is not iPhone and does everything better than iPhone does (according to commercials). It’s also true that the company has not had too many good things to say about AT&T and Apple in the past. But is it really possible to see Apple join forces with Verizon to give its customers something they have been asking for months? According to sources familiar with the issue, Verizon is still very interested in getting its hands on iPhone. The company may have Droid, but it does understand the benefits that a partnership with Apple can bring for Verizon. Switching from AT&T to Verizon may not be as straight forward for Apple as it was the case for Amazon when it moved Kindle from Sprint to AT&T. But the move makes sense for both Apple and Verizon.

There are many iPhone owners who have been hoping for Apple to provide them with alternatives when it comes to picking up a wireless carrier. At the same time, Verizon is growing fast and a number of its customers are interested in purchasing a Verizon iPhone. It’s not as if Verizon is trying to hide its desire to carry the iPhone. Here is what the company had to say about this whole issue:

We obviously would be interested at any point in the future that they would be interested in having us as a partner. Read the rest of this entry »

A certainly nice way to go after every little weakness that iPhone has. Unlike Microsoft, Verizon’s ad campaign actually has some sting to it. The Droid has gotten some great previews from Android fans, but the jury is still out.
